In our day-to-day work in our associations, federations or regular workplaces it’s not often we get a chance to rub shoulders with TV stars, decision-makers from the World Health Organisation, UNESCO, the EU Sport Unit, successful campaign managers, former athletes, fitness gurus and TEDx speakers. But at conferences, anything is possible! That’s why we are gathering the most high-profile speakers for our MOVE Congress 2019 programme.

The 9th edition of the MOVE Congress starts tomorrow in Budapest, Hungary and over 40 speakers from 19 countries are ready to meet over 460 participants from all sides of the globe.
